    THAT LIBERTY SHALL NOT PERISH: AMERICAN PROPAGANDA AND THE POLITICS OF FEAR, 1914-1919 by ZACHARY CHARLES SMITH (Under the Direction of John H. Morrow, Jr.) ABSTRACT This dissertation attempts to provide an understanding of the widespread anxiety, vigilantism, suppression of dissent, and violation of civil liberties that took place in the United States from 1917 to 1919 and argues that it can be found in some Americans‟ understanding of and reaction to racially-charged propaganda. As the United States inched toward war with Germany in 1915 and after declaring war in April 1917, many propagandists began referencing the allegedly inherent characteristics of Germans as evidence of German American disloyalty and the existence of a vast “Pan-German” plot to undercut or even destroy American democracy. The imagined conspiracy grew to encompass most of the fears that had plagued the Anglo Saxon middle-class since the 1870s – immigrant radicalism, race suicide, the capability of “racially inferior” immigrants to assimilate and self-govern, and the continued deference of African Americans. To many anxious Americans, Germany and German Americans became a very real entity to which these long-held fears could be transferred. American propaganda produced during the First World War, though, was not a cynical ploy to fool the American people into supporting intervention on the side of the Allies. Leading Americans – politicians, editors, and social elites – were convinced that a global German conspiracy threatened the security of the United States and hoped to enlist the American people in staving off the existential threat they believed racially degenerate Germany allegedly posed.

Membership Chair Martha Shivvers has assured us that, even though a stroke just two weeks after her 95th birthday threatened to limit drastically her activities, she has recovered sufficiently to be able to continue her unmatched service to The Fossils. We rejoice, not only because she would have been most difficult to replace, but more importantly, because she has made such marvelous recovery. I am certain that all of you are elated to receive this news. Another happy event was mine this February when at the behest of former student and long- time friend, Ken Metzgar, I ventured a visit to his home in Tempe, Arizona. Ken made certain that I was in Tucson on February 12 to celebrate with Louise Lincoln her 98th birthday. You will want to know that Louise is comfortable and happy with the care she receives in a beautiful assisted living residence. As a matter of fact her care givers invited Ken and me to share the occasion with a generous slice of Louise's red-ribbon birthday cake. At present Louise is working on another issue of her Kitchen Stove which she produces for members of NAPA. Also Ken arranged for me to visit with AAPA President Mike O'Connor in Fountain Hills where I was Mike's luncheon guest and later had the opportunity of examining his print shop and conversing face-to-face with Dean Rea by way of the internet.

"Citizens In The Making": Black Philadelphians, The Republican Party And Urban Reform, 1885-1913 Abstract “Citizens in the Making” broadens the scope of historical treatments of black politics at the end of the nineteenth century by shifting the focus of electoral battles away from the South, where states wrote disfranchisement into their constitutions. Philadelphia offers a municipal-level perspective on the relationship between African Americans, the Republican Party, and political and social reformers, but the implications of this study reach beyond one city to shed light on a nationwide effort to degrade and diminish black citizenship. I argue that black citizenship was constructed as alien and foreign in the urban North in the last decades of the nineteenth century and that this process operated in tension with and undermined the efforts of black Philadelphians to gain traction on their exercise of the franchise. For black Philadelphians at the end of the nineteenth century, the franchise did not seem doomed or secure anywhere in the nation.

SEELYE Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: September 15, 1993 Copyright 1998 ADST Q: Today is September 15, 1993. This is an interview with Ambassador Talcott W. Seelye which is being done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies. I'm Charles Stuart Kennedy. To start off, I would like to get something about your background, a bit about your family, where you grew up and went to school, etc. SEELYE: I was born in 1922 in Beirut, Lebanon where my father was a professor. I was born as a fourth generation of my family to live in the Middle East. It was my mother's family which first started the process. Q: What was your mother's family name? SEELYE: It was Chambers, but the first member of my family who went to the Middle East had the name of Frederick Williams. He went out there around 1840 as a Congregational missionary to Mosul in Turkey. You can imagine what the conditions were like in Mosul, Turkey in the middle of the nineteenth century. In his efforts to get established he lost his first three wives successively to disease, pestilence and the usual hygienic conditions that existed there. The first wife was the mother of my mother's mother, that is the daughter of Frederick Williams. She married a Canadian Congregational minister and induced him to go out to the Middle East. That was my grandmother, and she had come back here to go Interview with Talcott W.

  • Frank Furness's Library of the University of Pennsylvania and The
    "The Happy Employment of Means to Ends" Frank Furness'sLibrary of the University of Pennsylvania and the IndustrialCulture of Philadephia I N 1885 THE PROVOST of the University of Pennsylvania, William Pepper, M.D., called for the construction of a new library building to form the centerpiece of his academic program to incorporate research methods into instruction. Restored in 1991 by Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates and reopened as the university's Fine Arts Library, Frank Furness's building has been cleaned of a century of grime to reveal fiery red hues that highlight its exuberant shapes and forms. Designed with the in- put of the era's best-known library experts, it was initially hailed as the most successful college library of its day. However, its original style caused it to be almost immediately forgotten as a model for other libraries.' Frank Furness is now enjoying a surge of popularity, replacing Henry Hobson Richardson as the best-known American Victorian architect. But even to- day the cognoscenti have trouble understanding what Furness intended in his University of Pennsylvania Library. This article offers an explanation for Furness's masterpiece as a manifestation of the city's innovative indus- trial culture while also providing an important clue to Fumess's success in supposedly conservative Philadelphia. In the 1880s the role of the college library was changing. No longer just 'Much of the research for this paper was undertaken a decade ago as the basis for the restoration of Furness's library at the University of Pennsylvania. It owes much to the early interest in libraries of James F.

  • 1 a Library in Retrospect
    1 A Library in Retrospect Michael T. Ryan ith its five million printed volumes, millions of manu- W script items, and hundreds of electronic databases, the University of Pennsylvania Library is a library of libraries. Since its founding 250 years ago in 1750, the Library has developed into a major research institution whose collections serve scholars at Penn and around the world. If the Library is a library of libraries, its history is a not a single narrative but a congeries of stories. As the Library celebrates its 250th anniversary, we have chosen to return to our history as an institution and to bring together in one volume some of those stories. The University claims Benjamin Franklin as its founder, or at least as primus inter pares. The Library also acknowledges the lead- ing role played by Franklin in making sure that the new school in Philadelphia had books. Franklin was one of the Library’s earliest donors, and as a Trustee saw to it that funds were allocated for the purchase of texts from London. If the school was something of an experiment in civic responsibility, so, in its own way, was the Library. Indeed, Franklin casts a long shadow over the history of the Library. Like its founder, the Library has been practical, resourceful, and unostentatious. For Franklin, books were tools for improvement: improvement of self, of society, of the material world. Books were only as valuable as they were useful. Size was less important than content and quality. The Penn Library may not be the largest of its kind, but then it has never aspired to be.
